Bacterioplankton in the Oregon upwelling system: distribution, cell-specific leucine incorporation, and diversity

Creator:: Longnecker, Krista
Abstract:: Marine bacterioplankton play an important role in global elemental cycles because they return carbon dioxide and nutrients to the biosphere as they reduce organic matter. Furthermore, marine bacterioplankton are not uniformly active, and subpopulations of the in situ community may be more or less active at any given time. Defining...
